If you are traveling near Wheeling, West Virginia...make sure you are there at lunch or dinner time. You won't want to miss this popular hometown "bite". Don't be late because Coleman's Fish Market is not for those who eat dinner late.

It is a one of a kind place located at Centre Market, which is known for its fish market, bakery, art gallery and more.

The fish market has been a local staple for many years. Those who grew up in the area and moved away always make it a point to stop for a fish sandwich when even relatively close to Market Centre.

Personally, I would not walk across the street for anything "fish", but I have to admit there is something to these tender white filet's on store bought white bread. If you are expecting a fish fillet on a fresh baked roll or croissant...don't! It may sound weird, but you won't think so once you have tried it.

I get the Canadian white fish sandwich and I like it! It basically is two slices of white bread with tons of fillets stuffed on. You could make two sandwiches out of it.

What you should know is...that you will have to stand in line and order at the counter. If you are taking it "to go" ask for the fish and bread to be separate. Tarter sauce is an extra at this fish market. You will pay for the add on's, but not a big deal.

This restaurant is an adventure. Most days they are closed by six so don't be late, or you will be disappointed.

There are plenty of items to choose from and I understand the clam chowder is excellent as well as other menu items. I have tried the fried shrimp and it was great.

While at the historic Centre Market enjoy a stroll through the exhibits at the Artworks Gallery and Art Center. It is also located in the market and is a nonprofit educational and charitable organization.Also in the market you will find Valley Cheese, which is a family owned business and has a host of Amish cheeses, meats, jams, jellies, noodles, chocolates and more. Michael's Beef House is another option for dinning. You will find the Big Mike sandwich here, which consists of roast beef, ham, melted, swiss cheese and the fixins'.

Wood N Stitches offers handcrafted gifts, including, benches, birdhouses, shelves and more. It is also the perfect stop for an ice cream cone.

If it is pies you like then stop at Oliver's this is where the pie man has been baking pies for more than 30 years. You will not find canned pudding in his pies. Everything is freshly made. There are little pies and big ones of all flavors.

The Soup Shack has a variety of homemade soups and salads. There are five or more soups made fresh each day and you can sample before you choose!

Throughout the Centre Market area you will find other antique shops, unique eateries and more.
